More-than-human centred reflection: Addressing the fiction of reflective practice in teacher education

This paper seeks to extend the debate around the contested concept of the ‘reflective practitioner.’ This concept has influenced practice-based learning across a range of disciplines, including social work, nursing and teaching and although assumptions are commonly made about its value to the developing practitioner, it has also been subject to critique. From the perspective of Scottish teacher-education, we propose moving beyond commonly accepted reflective practices to arrive at a reframing of it as a ‘more than human’ (Strom and Viesca, 2021) endeavour, in a way that decentres the practitioner from the process of reflection. We firstly consider some benefits and limitations of commonly used, human-centric models of reflection in teacher education; both in practice and in regulation. We then use two familiar classroom scenarios to demonstrate how these models of reflection can constrain the reflective process, and student-teachers’ agentic possibilities. We explore how a theoretical reframing of the problem through connectivism (Downes, 2007; Siemens, 2005), offers a fresh perspective that challenges the practitioner to reflect in multiple dimensions; on their means of connecting with others and the ‘matter’ of their practices – the material, physical and conceptual objects that are drawn into the orbit of the day-to-day work of teaching and learning. The proposed approach invites student-teachers to decentre themselves from their reality and consider a range of realities, allowing their reflections to more genuinely, critically and authentically reflect the realities of their experiences in the classroom. Although situated in the context of Scottish teacher education, this provocation offers fresh consideration of a problem that is currently of relevance to student-teachers and those involved in teacher education in both a UK-wide and international context.

Nationwide evaluation of medical training in psychiatry and psychotherapy in Germany

To date there has been no evaluation of further training and working conditions in medical specialist training in psychiatry and psychotherapy in Germany. In order to counteract the lack of young talent and ensure long-term care for patients, quality assurance is essential. The evaluation aims to identify strengths and weaknesses of the further training and to derive measures for improvement. For abetter classification, acomparison is also made with other disciplines with medical specialist further training. The online-based survey took place from 15 May 2023 to 30 June 2023. The results refer to 315 questionnaires from 202 physicians in further training and 113 medical specialists (specialist title for less than 3 years). Of those surveyed 64% were satisfied with the quality and implementation of the general psychiatry part, only 11% were considering changing their specialty and 18% were considering moving their job abroad due to the training conditions. There is aneed for improvement in induction and in the organization of the training. In addition, significant time and financial burdens for mandatory external training events as well as the lack of compatibility between training and research, teaching and care work responsibilities were criticized. Overall, it appears that the working conditions are better than in other disciplines. With respect to the potential for improvement, the creation of financing for further training is essential; certificates for high quality training and the publication of positive examples can also contribute to quality assurance and improvement.

현직 전문상담교사의 업무수행 경험에 기반한 학교현장실습 개선방향 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of pre-service school counselors’ school field practicum and explore ways to improve it by examining the work performance experiences and perceptions of in-service school counselors regarding school field practicum. Methods To achieve this purpose, a Focus Group Interview was conducted for seven school counselors working in Seoul and non-Seoul schools or provincial offices of education. The inductive analysis was performed for the collected qualitative data. Results As a result of the analysis, it was found that the school counselors participating in the study perform tasks such as counseling, crisis case management, operation and administration, consulting and training, and teaching at the school or provincial office of education. And, it was found that they had experienced counseling, operation and administration, and teaching in school field practicum when they were pre-service school counselors. In school field practicum, the participants experienced teaching, operational and administrative work necessary for subject teachers. However, they rarely experienced counseling and crisis case management, which are most important for school counselor’s work. In addition, the school counselors expressed a need for the school field practicum improvement in terms of the content, timing, duration, supervisor, and manual. Conclusions These results imply that the school field practicum of the pre-service school counselors is not related to the work of the school counselors. This study suggested five aspects to improve the school field practicum of pre-service school counselors. The study is significant in that it examined the effectiveness of school field practicum and suggested the directions for improving the practicum based on the in-service school counselor’s work experiences.

Autoestudo de incidentes críticos na perspectiva da justiça curricular

This study investigates secondary education and curricular justice amidst counter-educational reforms aligned with neoliberal ideals in Brazil, highlighting the imperatives of teacher resistance against political implications at macro and micro levels. Focusing on two critical incidents situated at the Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCE) and the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS). The research employs self-study methodology and the critical incident analysis technique to examine intersections between educational policy and Physical Education within the federal education system. The qualitative approach, grounded in the epistemology of praxis, involved eight Physical Education teachers in reflexive and dialogical processes. These educators shared (inter)subjective and (self-)critical experiences regarding the relationship between secondary education and curricular justice, revealing a pedagogical practice that challenges the prevailing technical rationality. The study underscores how collaborative movements foster active political vigilance, shaping conscious and engaged bodies capable of transforming an often oppressive educational system. Through the exchange of experiences, the teacher-researchers developed strategies to navigate the contradictions of the educational system, building a transformative praxis that values diversity and curricular justice. This articulation between life and teaching work emerges as a space for resistance and pedagogical innovation, reaffirming Physical Education as a critical and socially committed field.

Development of an education-oriented operating system for online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic

The situation caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge for the educational sector. The need to maintain social distancing and the restrictions imposed to control the spread of the virus have necessitated the immediate implementation of online teaching, radically transforming the educational landscape. In light of this reality, it has become imperative to seek innovative and accessible solutions to ensure the continuity of the teaching-learning process. In this context, a free operating system based on open-source software has been developed as a key initiative to contribute to global strategies aimed at mitigating the impact of the coronavirus on the educational community. This operating system is presented as a tool of great value, not only for its accessibility and low cost but also for its adaptability to different educational contexts. It includes a set of pre-installed applications, specifically designed to facilitate teaching work in a virtual environment. These applications allow for maintaining an effective distance communication channel with students, as well as assisting in the organization and management of work, for both teachers and students. To ensure that this operating system effectively met the real needs of educators and students during the pandemic, an exhaustive research study was conducted. This study involved surveys, interviews, and focus groups with teachers from various levels and disciplines, as well as with experts in educational technology. The results provided important information about the needs, challenges, and expectations of teachers in relation to online teaching. Based on these findings, an operating system was designed that integrated these needs, offering practical and effective solutions for distance education. Finally, the trial version of this operating system was subjected to rigorous evaluation.

Management of the methodological teaching work in the cuban medical university

Background: The Cuban educational model of professional training in the health sciences entails the fusion of the pedagogical model of higher education with the health model that has been developed in the country, which undoubtedly distinguishes the conception and development of a training process of itsown. Objective: To support the management of the methodological teaching work in the Cuban medical university. Methods: To support the analysis of the management of the methodological teaching work in the Cuban medical university, methods of the theoretical level were used, such as the historical-logical, systematization and documentary analysis. Results: For the analysis of the management of methodological teaching work, 5 stages are established; First Stage (1962 to 1980: Consolidation of the University Reform and First Regulation of Methodological Work); Second Stage (1981 to 1987: Implementation of the Norms of the Teaching and Methodological Work of the specialties of higher medical education); Third Stage (1988 to 2006: Regulation for the organization of the educational teaching process in the centers of higher medical education - Ministerial Resolution No. 15/88); Fourth Stage (2007 to 2017: Implementation of Resolution 210 /2007); Fifth Stage (2018 - Present: Activity of Resolutions associated with the E Plans of study).

Gender assessment of teaching work during the pandemic lockdown. The case of a higher education institution in southeastern Mexico

Two years after the end of the COVID-19 stage, studies have been found on various factors related to university education; however, each region experienced and developed strategies in a different way. This situation contributed to generate contingency actions that helped to minimize educational deficiencies when these could not be face-to-face; however, although there were certainly insufficiencies, most teachers had to manage to transmit their knowledge, often supported by technological tools or by any other means that suited their work or teaching skills. The objective of this research was to evaluate the teaching work during the confinement generated by the COVID-19 pandemic by the industrial engineering students of the Instituto Tecnológico de Mérida. The study had a quantitative approach, relational scope since groups of industrial engineering students were compared, and non-experimental cross-sectional design, since variables were measured at a single point in time and variables were compared with respect to gender. The results showed that there are significant differences in the opinions of academic work between female and male students. This result leads us to reflect on the need to address the teaching-learning process in female students, since the results obtained show that they do not perceive academic work in the same way as male students.

The training of teaching preceptors in healthcare through continuing education: improving student learning and the teaching work environment

This opinion article emphasizes the relevance of continuous training for teaching preceptors in healthcare, particularly in medical education, while addressing the challenges faced by these professionals. The objective of this article is to explore the role of teaching preceptors in healthcare education, focusing on their impact on student learning and professional development. This research is justified by the critical role that teaching preceptors play in bridging theoretical knowledge and practical application in healthcare education. The study addresses a significant gap in the pedagogical preparation of preceptors, a topic often overlooked in discussions about medical education. The methodology of this study combines a bibliographic review with the practical experiences of two authors who are currently pursuing medical degrees. The bibliographic review served to establish a theoretical basis by analyzing existing literature on preceptor training, teaching methodologies, and the humanization of healthcare practices. The results bring attention to the fact that many preceptors lack formal training in teaching methodologies, which limits their ability to foster effective student-preceptor interactions.

Activities of Professor of Riga Polytechnicum / Riga Polytechnic Institute Heinrich Malcher (1848– 1927) and His Contribution to Latvia

In the first decades of its existence, many foreigners worked at Riga Polytechnicum (RP), including one of the most internationally recognized lecturers and scientists, geodesist and hydrotechnician Heinrich Malcher (1848–1927), who continued to work at RP even after the reorganization of the university into Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI; 1896). For 20 years, the Professor was the Head of the Department of Engineering (1882–1902) of RP / RPI. In addition to his teaching work, H. Malcher designed the water pipeline for Jelgava (1881), led the creation of the first triangulation network of the city of Riga, dealt with the city’s sewage disposal issues, and was an active member of the Riga Technical Society. He spent his twilight years in the Czech Republic, in the village of Kujavy, where he created the first water distribution system and worked as a construction consultant and inspector.

Принципы андрагогики в аспектном преподавании русского языка как иностранного на курсах интенсивного обучения

The article is devoted to the principles of andragogy as a developing part of general pedagogy in the context of teaching Russian as a foreign language (RFL). The purpose of the study is to determine the principles of andragogy that are most applicable in teaching RFL and to develop an effective lesson structure based on them. In the article, the authors compare the principles of teaching, select effective methods of working with adult learners in RFL lessons. The focus is on aspect-based teaching in intensive training courses for adult students, so the authors elaborate on the lesson plan, which is based on the principles of andragogy, and provide recommendations on aspect-based work with adult learners. Until now, the principles of andragogy have been considered as a whole in application to teaching foreign languages, including Russian linguistics, but the andragogical methods of work in aspect teaching have not been traced. Thus, the scientific novelty lies in the identification of effective andragogical techniques in the aspect teaching of RFL. As a result of the analysis of the andragogical concepts and principles of RFL teaching, the authors identify the most relevant teaching methods and develop an example of a practical lesson based on the principles of andragogical teaching.

Research on Multi-Dimensional Integration Path of Traditional Chinese Culture and Standard Chinese Language Teaching

In recent years, with the proposed construction of “new liberal arts,” some colleges and universities have made breakthroughs in interdisciplinary, curriculum integration, and education and teaching reform in combination with the actual situation and characteristics of their professional development, which has improved the quality of college talent training in the new era. Based on the requirements of “new liberal arts” construction, combined with the actual work of education and teaching, this paper explores the coupling degree of Chinese traditional culture teaching and national common language teaching in the aspects of value guidance, teaching methods, assessment, and evaluation, and applies the survey method and interview method to compare the differences before and after the pilot minority college students learn Chinese traditional culture curriculum reform, using group cooperation. The multi-dimensional teaching paths, such as the contrast of Chinese and Uyghur cultural communication and immersive experience, pay attention to the interdisciplinarity and the virtuous cycle teaching mode, aiming to make cultural education and language education move forward together, provide different perspectives for the cross-integration of cultural teaching and national standard language teaching, and give full play to the role of the construction of new liberal arts in the process of curriculum cross-teaching, teaching mode, and talent training.

VENHA VER O PÔR DO SOL COMIGO! REFLEXÕES SOBRE OS MUNDOS DAS INFÂNCIAS E RESISTÊNCIA VIA TRABALHO DOCENTE

Starting from the understanding that laughter, joy, emotions and senses are central and legitimate in the education of children, the objective is to reflect on the teaching action in education in early childhood education in the search for new meanings and meanings for teaching, learning and child development. It is an essay in the light of the critical foundations of childhood education and of authors who dialogue with this theoretical basis. Organized into three sections, initially brings the conceptions of children and childhoods, emphasizing the role of the educational context in their formation, then highlights the relevance of children's experience based on teaching intentionality and, finally, presents educational organizers that can help to think the role of the educational institution and teaching work in the process of child humanization. We reiterate the need to organize teaching based on a commitment to valuing and offering meaningful experiences, which enhance and promote interaction, autonomy and daily learning, committed to expanding children's knowledge. Pedagogical work committed to the human development of children must include their participation, consideration of their ways of thinking and interpreting the world, as a way of welcoming and valuing the childlike being.

A biopolítica sobre a docência prisional: entre a segurança e a educação

This research study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of prison teaching work, navigating between power relations of security and education, in the light of biopolitics. Also, this study aimed to understand how resocialization of inmates is promoted through schooling and the challenges and advantages in carrying out prison teaching work. In order to get answers and explanations on the issue of teaching work effectiveness with inmates, navigating power relations: security and education, drawing on biopolitics, a study was carried out in a state school within a women’s prison in the town of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected from interviews to teachers and field diary logs, using a qualitative and descriptive methodology. To analyze the data in this research, the MAXQDA Analytics Pro (24.2.0), combined with discourse analysis in a critical approach were used for content analysis. Among the main findings, we highlighted that teachers are valued by the students, but not by security enforcement and government officers. Teachers also reported a lack of opportunities to work with certain teaching tools/materials. Furthermore, teachers reported that they believed in inmates’ resocialization through school, but acknowledged that there was a lack of public policies to allow for prison schooling without affecting local security. When considering public policies, and prison structuring and functioning in the light of the concepts analyzed, they the need for change in the prison system was made evident, to allow for alternatives that effectively promote social reintegration.

LEARNING CONTENT TYPOLOGIES AS A SUPPORT FOR TEACHING BIOCLIMATISM IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING

This article addresses the impact of the learning content typologies proposed by Zabala (2007) on teaching planning. The study aims to analyze the impact of this theory on the learning of second-semester students of the Architecture and Urbanism course at the University of Brasília. The theoretical foundation is based on the didactic-pedagogical principles of education, especially teaching in Zabala (2007), Dantas (2007), Libâneo (2017), Pimenta, Anastasiou and Cavallet (2002), Masetto (2012) and, in learning, in Pozo (2009), among others. The methodology is qualitative, characterized as a case study. The experiment took place during the course of the discipline "Environmental Studies: Bioclimatism", organized considering the contents of a conceptual, procedural and attitudinal nature in the proposition of objectives, in the systematization of activities and in the evaluation of students. The research instrument consisted of document analysis (Discipline Plans and Pedagogical Project of the Course) and a questionnaire applied to the students. In the final stage of the discipline, the students answered the questionnaire, in order to evaluate the perception of the adequacy of each activity according to the intended objective. The results and conclusions indicated that the activities were evaluated as “very effective” or “effective”, indicating that the teaching planning based on the typologies of learning content had a positive impact on the teaching-learning process, and this planning approach can be used, without prejudice, in other disciplines in the context of Architecture and Urbanism, considering that all teachers must know and appropriate the didactic-pedagogical foundations to develop the teaching work successfully.
